Yes! On my first I showed very fast. 5'0" and 110 lbs.. Maternity clothes by 12 weeks and leggings before then. Showing even faster on this one. We can't carry the weight at all being small!!

In my experience yes. I showed very early with very apparent bumps well before 12 weeks with both my DD's and #3 is no exception. I'm 5'2" and have a fairly petite frame. No room at the inn! it's my favourite saying for the third trimester. my friends called me pregasaurus because i was all bump and waddled for my little legs to keep up hehe. Cannot wait for the proper bump to appear this time rather than just the bloatiness.

I'm about the same size as all of you! I guess it's almost time to say goodbye to my skinny jeans.

From my experience not necessarily. I'm 5'3" and weigh about 125. My uterus is anteriorly tilted so the lower portion sits further back in my abdomen. I didn't start truly showing with my first to the point where the general public noticed until I was about 6.5 months!

In my experience with my first and only I was about 5-6 months before I started showing with her. I was 5'2" and weighed 105 the day I found out I was pregnant with her.

I'm a size 4 about 5'6. With my first I was just a bit bloated looking until about 20 weeks then I popped. With my second I popped at 16 weeks...curious to see with #3 when I start to show. By day end I look like I had too big a meal and I'm only 4 weeks.

Not necessarily. My best friend is 5'0 and she didn't show with either of her kids until 6 months. She had teeny tiny babies (very healthy, now average sized).

With my first I weighed 102, and I'm 5'1; I didn't show until I was 7 mths, and when my daughter was born she weighed 7 lbs and was 21 inches... so I think everyone is different

Same here. With my daughter (2 years old) no one even knew I was pregnant! I never showed. I have such a long torso, and short legs. I had a little pudge that looked like I ate too much or had been eating too many oreos and milkshakes haha. I did go up a shirt size though just because I carried my daughter in my back and my ribcage expanded! Haha

I never had to buy maternity clothes with my first. Just a belly band and wore low sitting pants. I'll be interested to see what the difference might be with this one

I am 5 ft with short torso and I was in maternity pants at 8 weeks, everyone kept telling me I was having twins I was showing so early and big. Everything out front, truly was like I had a basketball under my shirt

im 5'2 110, and with my first I started noticeably showing about 20+ weeks. on the contrary i feel i showed later bc i was so small. With this one i think for sure i will show sooner but that is normal for a 2nd baby. Now i just have the bloat look , but that is more then i remember with my first so early on. I am 6 wks.
